I started with the Shinsengumi in Bakumatsu

Chapter 67: Promotion, participation in meetings

Nijo paid tribute to Emperor Takamei. Following Shimazu Hisamitsu's suggestion, he persuaded the emperor to select a minister to be the superior officer of the Prosecutor's Office.

But Emperor Komei was hesitant. He glanced at Nijo Saikyo and thought of what happened in the past few days. He knew that Yagyu led the prosecutor's office to suppress the Satsuma clan and the shogunate.

He originally wanted to refuse directly, but stopped when the words reached his lips.

He turned to say: "Although the Satsuma clan and the shogunate have caused some trouble in Kyoto recently, generally speaking, the Prosecution and Non-violation Bureau has kept Kyoto stable for several months. During this time, I can sleep well.

Furthermore, Yagyu Aikyō will be training a Western-style infantry team recently, and he is recruiting new team members. He is indeed a little busy. In this case, I asked Yagyu Aikyō to come over and inquire. If Yagyu Aikyō is very busy, then arrange a The Qing family helps. "

Nijo Qi Jing really didn't want Yagyu to come. Once Yagyu came, this matter might not be settled.

But he was not as reckless as Sanjo Sanimi, and he did not dare to force the emperor forcefully, so he could only nod.

Half an hour later, Yagyu came to Qingliang Hall to pay homage to Emperor Komei.

When Emperor Komei saw Yagyu's presence, he felt very relaxed and said casually: "My dear, Mr. Nijo said that you have too many things to do in the non-violation office, and I am afraid that you will be too busy. I want to add an official to help you. I think Woolen cloth?"

Yagyu glanced at Nijo Saiki, who was a little restless, and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, although the Choshu clan has been driven out of Kyoto, there are still remnants of the anti-barbarian faction in Kyoto. Not only that, the shogunate and the feudal lord are both in Kyoto, and there are occasional conflicts between them. There is friction.

If you want to be qualified for the work of the Prosecution and Non-Violation Bureau, you need to be very courageous, not afraid of offending the shogunate and the feudal lord, and maintaining the safety of Kyoto. If there is such a minister, I don't mind. "

When Emperor Xiaomei heard this, he thought carefully about the hundreds of ministers in Kyoto.

There are six types of family styles in Japanese public families, including the Shokan family, the Tsinghua family, the Minister family, the Habayashi family, the Ming family, and the Han family.

However, the only people who can be called public ministers are the upper-level families. These official families can go to court to discuss matters and participate in politics, while those who cannot go to court are called underground families.

There are a total of 130 seven families in the town, some of which have long since died out. In the Edo period, some public families let their excess heirs inherit those extinct public families. These are called new families, and they are among these 130 seven families.

Although there are many ministers in the imperial court, the courageous one is dead, and that is Gongzhi Jixiaolu.

In the end, Emperor Xiaomei shook his head and said: "There are so many nobles in the court, but I can't think of a suitable person."

Yagyu saluted and said: "I don't have enough courage to hand over the management of the Office of Prosecution and Non-violation to others. I must consider the safety of Your Majesty and Kyoto."

Emperor Takamei nodded and said with a smile: "That's what Ai Qing said. Ever since you took the post of Inspector General, I have become much more relaxed and no one is causing trouble. Ai Qing and Lieutenant General Aizu are both reliable ministers." .”

Erjo listened respectfully, his heart bleeding.

This time, Yagyu just thought that Nijo Saikei was interested in the prestige of the Prosecutor's Office and wanted to get involved, so he didn't care too much.

After all, during the Heian Era, after the Fujiwara family saw the power of the Prosecutor's Office, they immediately occupied this position and held it in their hands for hundreds of years.

Yagyu didn't think about retaliating against the minister. These people were even more cowardly, so there was no need to scare him. Yagyu started to panic when he saw Nijo's respectful expression at this moment.

Yagyu then saluted Nijo and said, "I would like to thank you, Mr. Nijo, for your concern."

Erjo Qi Jing said in a panic: "Where, where, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning..."

Emperor Komei didn't care about Nijo Saikei's reaction and started chatting with Yagyu.

Nijo Saikei quickly seized the opportunity, said goodbye and left.

He hurriedly left the palace, cursing: "If I deal with Judge Yagyu for Shimazu Hisamitsu again, I will be a red deer!"

Nijo Saikei immediately returned to the mansion, determined not to see Shimazu Hisamitsu during this time!Too unlucky!Shimazu Hisamitsu saw two saluting sedans from a distance, and immediately asked his men to carry his sedan over.

A few meters away, Shimazu Hisamitsu stuck his head out and shouted: "Nijo-sama!"

Nijo Saikei, who was closing his eyes to rest, heard Shimazu Hisamitsu's shout, and immediately said angrily: "It's so unlucky, why do you meet Shimazu Hisamitsu here? Why don't you leave quickly, leave quickly!"

The bearers did not dare to stop and carried the sedan away quickly.

Shimazu Hisamitsu's smiling expression instantly froze. He looked at Komatsu wearing a knife outside and asked, "What's going on?"

Komatsu was silent for a moment with his sword, and said truthfully: "I'm afraid that the plan to deploy people has failed, and Mr. Nijo is angry with us."

Shimazu Kumitsu angrily threw the fan into the snow and said angrily: "Whoosh!"

Komatsu immediately admonished with a knife: "In this situation, it is better not to provoke Judge Yagyu. We still have to try our best to deal with the next participation meeting."

"Your Highness, a little impatience will mess up a big plan."

Komatsu picked up the fan with a knife and handed it over.

Shimazu Hisamitsu took the fan and gritted his teeth and said, "I can bear it!"

Yagyu didn't know that he had hurt Shimazu Hisamitsu again. He was chatting with Emperor Takamei in the palace and talked about participating in the meeting.

Yagyu suggested: "Your Majesty, I believe that participating in the meeting is not just a matter for the feudal lord and the shogunate, but the imperial court should also send people to participate.

Otherwise, Satsumahou and others will definitely confront the shogunate, and eventually both parties will break up, and then participating in the meeting will be useless. "

Emperor Xiaomei nodded repeatedly and said: "What Aiqing said makes sense. Who do you think you should send to join us?"

Yagyu did not answer directly, but he proposed the triangle theory: "It is mentioned in Western theory that the triangle is the most stable structure.

In other words, the party arranged by the imperial court to participate in the meeting must have both contact and confrontation with the feudal lord and the shogunate, so as to ensure that there will be no stalemate on the issues of the meeting.

After all, the participating court forces can support plans that are beneficial to the court. "

Emperor Xiaomei suddenly realized it, and then thought about it for a long time, and said: "I understand what Aiqing means, but I am afraid that Aiqing is the only one who can withstand the pressure of the feudal lord and the shogunate."

Yagyu was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly: "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. Besides, I'm just inspecting the envoys for non-compliance..."

Emperor Xiaomei raised his hand and said: "Don't worry, my dear, I will soon promote you to the position of Inspector of Prosecution and Non-violation, as well as five attendants, to represent the imperial court in this meeting."

Seeing Emperor Xiaomei's support, Yagyu could only agree. He also sighed secretly in his heart. The ministers in the imperial court were too weak, otherwise Emperor Xiaomei would not rely on him so much. He had no choice but to suffer himself and join in. Meeting.

However, Shimazu Hisamitsu and Hitotsubashi Keiki jointly opposed the emperor's appointment. This was a rare sight.

Originally, the two of them thought that as long as they objected, the emperor would give in, but Yagyu was in the court, and Emperor Takamei boldly said: "I have made up my mind, no more words!"

Several powerful ministers in the court did not speak. Shimazu Hisamitsu opened his mouth and finally stepped back. Hitotsubashi wanted to shout "I want to quit", but in the end he bowed and returned to his seat.

Emperor Xiaomei looked at everyone with his head held high, and there was only one word in his heart: "Splendid"!
It's so cool, it's the first time I know the joy of being arbitrary!

　Regarding the system issue, I originally didn’t want to write about it, but the protagonist’s swordsmanship improved too quickly and the system was added without a reasonable explanation, so the system’s appearance rate is not high.
